Ear acupuncture has proven to be an efficient, inexpensive, and quick
method of treating a wide variety of conditions, from headaches and
allergies to ad- dictions and gynecological disorders. This convenient
pocket atlas succinctly describes all acupuncture points and teaches the
practitioner how to locate them precisely and use the technique with
confidence. Written by a premier international expert in the field, it
provides key advice on incorporating ear acupuncture techniques into
daily practice.

All information in the book is presented in a
straightforward, didactic format, enabling you to quickly learn and
reference all ear acupuncture points. More than 300 black and white line
drawings, with points indicated in color, clearly and accurately depict
each specific reflex zone or point, allowing for easy lo- calization;
where localization is particularly difficult, helpful enlargements of
the regions in question are provided. Plus, a valuable section on
indications gives examples of situations where ear acupuncture has been
successfully applied.

In an era where more and more patients are
seeking alternatives to conventio- nal medicine, this handy resource is
an ideal desk reference for all practitioners. Students and beginners in
the field will find it to be an excellent introduction to an emerging
specialty. Here is the pocket atlas that helps you stay aware of new
therapeutic options and provide optimal patient care!
